Abstract (en)

A mobile communications service provider 18 stores a number of datasets relating to subscriptions for use in a network 13 other than the provider's own. When a mobile unit 10 identifies that it has "roamed" to a network 13 other than its home network 11 it sends a call 34 for to its own provider requesting one of the datasets, which it then uses as a temporary subscription on the visited network 13. Thus the roaming handset 10 can operate as a local subscriber, avoiding the cost and complexity of roaming.
